Naan Bread (Serves 16)

Ingredients
• 1 2/3 lb of plain flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 pint of whole milk
• 1 ¼ oz vegetable oil
• Butter, softened
• 1 handful of garlic cloves, chopped and peeled
• Coriander, chopped

Directions

1. To make the dough, place the flour in a bowl and mix with the baking powder and salt.

2. In a separate jug, mix the milk, sugar, and eggs until the sugar has dissolved. Add this to the bowl with the dry ingredients and combine, kneading to create a soft dough.

3. Once you have your dough, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave it to rest for about 15 minutes.

4. If you’re baking your naan bread in the oven, preheat it 437 degrees Fahrenheit (225 degrees Celsius), and place a baking tray in to heat up.

5. After the dough has rested, add the oil to the bowl and mix well.

6. Divide the dough into 16 small pieces and roll out on a floured surface to form circles that are about 4 inches in diameter. Place the dough circles onto the hot tray in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, turning if necessary.

7. Alternatively, you might wish to grill your naan bread. If this is the case, instead of preheating the oven, turn the grill on to its highest setting and set out as many pans as you can on the hob over a high heat. Place one circle of dough in each pan to cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the underside of the bread to color. Place directly under the grill until the naans begin to puff up.

8. Once cooked, brushed the naans with butter and, while still hot, add the chopped garlic and coriander. Serve immediately.

( I saw this recipe in a site, wanted to share with you all).

Cheesy garlic bread

Ingredients:

• 500 g all purpose flour( maida)
• ½ tbsp. dry yeast
• ½ tbsp. salt
• ½ tbsp. sugar
• 1 ½ cups water, room temperature
• ½ tsp bread improver (optional)
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• 1/3 cup parsley, dry
• 1/3 cup basil, dry
• ¼ cup rosemary, dry and chopped
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 2 cups mozzarella, grated

Directions: 

1. Mix half the water, the dry yeast, the bread improver, the flour, the sugar, and salt into the mixer bowl and turn it on. Add the remaining water gradually, kneading until you get a uniform dough.
2. Add the olive oil to the bowl and knead for about 2 minutes (add flour if the dough is too sticky), continue to work the dough for about 5 minutes until it separates from the sides of the bowl.
3. Allow the dough to rise for about 1- 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size. Once it rises, beat the dough to knock it down and let it rise again.
4. After the second rise, remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 50 x 25 cm sheet.
5. Butter the top of the dough sheet and sprinkle with crushed garlic, the herb mixture, and grated cheese and roll into a loaf. Place the loaf in a baking pan, let the bread rise for about 15 minutes.
6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for about 40 minutes until the top turns golden brown, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

This is not my recipe, saw it, while reading about natural antibiotic properties  of garlic and onion, so wanted to share with you all, as most of us may already are going through harsh winter, this will help to keep you warm. Good luck and good health to all. To know about goodness of both see the 1st link given below, where I put lots of info for health.
